burglar broke into a bank through a vacant building next door. that's one of the similarities in these two attempted robberies. police say someone broke into the bank on wisconsin avenue near o street after 3:00 this morning. the security alarm went off, alerting the security company, who we're told could see the suspect by video camera breaking in. apparently came in through the ceiling and into the atm room. police have been searching an abandoned building next door to the bank. the suspect was described as wearing a white construction style clothing. the attempted robbery appeared similar to one at a bank of america in woodly park on august 17th. the fbi released surveillance footage of a suspect wearing a white jumpsuit in that one, which appears similar to this description of the georgetown break-in. investigators say the suspect got into the bank by cutting through the wall of an old deli next door that had been closed. last year the same bank was

broken into the same way. in both cases the suspect did not appear to get away with cash. at this point investigators are not saying whether there is a link between that woodly park attempted robbery and this attempted robbery. but clearly, there are some similarities. in this case, the suspect got away also empty handed. that's the latest here in georgetown. back to you, allison. >> sherri ly live for us in northwest. thank you. overnight in the district a mother and her two children went to the hospital, hurt in an apartment fire in southeast. several people had to be rescued by ladder from the three story building. this happened in the 1300 block of alabama avenue around 4:45 this morning. the injuries of the mother and her children are not said to be serious. checking other top stories, family and friend are getting ready to say their goodbyes to the victims killed after a train derailment early tuesday

arbitration. a lot of fallout from this. apparently the international cycling agency is kind of like, wait, hold on a second, i don't know about the titles. why does he need to be stripped of those? >> it is fascinating, because he had all the fame and fortune because of this. if they wipe it out, i wonder what happens. you say he'll probably lose the money. he's still kind of a famous guy. >> right. they have to find that balance. they want to do something and discipline in some way, if this is the way it's going to go. but at the same time, how far do you go down? >> thank you very much. that story is still developing, of course. we'll give you updates as they come along. making headlines this morning, the norwegian man who set off a deadly explosion learns his fate. a five judge panel determined he is sane and sentenced him to serve at least 10 years in prison for killing 77 people in the attack last year. i did say 10 years.

we want to say good morning to five-year-old five-year-old kendall. it's her first day of kindergarten. you can go to myfoxdc.com to send in your pictures. is your child ready for the new school year? it's so easy for kids to spend the entire summer forgetting about everything they've learned in school and the transition can be stressful. we have some ways to get them back into the groove and learning mood after summer fun. joining us now with more information is consultant rick kamal. last time you had things to

help us with the summer slide. today we're going to talk about strategy. strategy for taking tests. >> absolutely. we've been working with 33 leading education experts. one thing we found is we've developed award winning strategies and systems is when kids learn effective study techniques can boost their grades. you learn 20 techniques within 90 days your grades can go up a whole grade level, believe it or not. >> rick, i'm all ears. i have three kids at home, so i'm ready. show me what to do to make the grades go up. >> first thing, kids don't have a planner. get a planner, put every major event in it. major exams, assignments and plan backwards. write all the steps you need to do to get to that test, and follow that plan. that will get you prepared and will decrease your stress. >> okay. i see this right here. tell me about this. i think this is interesting. >> this is just a squeeze ball.

a lot of kids learn by moving, touching, feeling. if you're reading a book or studying, add a little motion. use a squeeze ball. play with a paper clip. even, believe it or not, chew gum. >> gum? >> yeah. if it has a lot of flavor and long lasting, it keeps you more alert while you're studying. >> okay. we also have a timer over here. tell me about the timer. >> one big issue is fatigue when studying. don't want to lose focus. set a timer every 25 minutes, take a five-minute break. don't watch tv or read a magazine. take a walk, stretch, whatever. it will keep you focused in the long-term. >> and this? >> this is a parking lot. when you're studying sometimes you get distracted, oh, i got to do this or that. write down items that come into your mind as you're studying, so they don't distract you. leave it aside and get back to

it when you're done studying. >> and i see we have something to eat over here as well. >> that's right. really important, whether going into a test or studying, having good snacks. stay away from sugar, but high protein snacks like nuts, which have good fat, as well as a lot of good protein, are good for your brain and keep you going and focused. >> you want to eat these as you're doing your work and studying? >> absolutely. or right before a test. keeps you going so you don't crash. >> okay. anything else at all that we need to know about as parents when we're trying to get our students, our children, more focused, back into the rhythm as we head back to school? >> absolutely. one thing is, kids get a lot of stress. we need to learn as parents to be their coaches rather than adversaries. let's say they're on the second question and they freeze, take

your finger and palm and draw a circle seven times. >> what does that do? >> it releases the tension, gets you focused back on what you should be rather than the panic. and you're able to get back into the test game and do well on your test. >> rick, thank you very much. helpful information. i see you have a book. i know we're almost out of time. tell me, that's a regular book? >> actually it's a book full of techniques on how to actually study. >> hold this up a little bit. i'm knocking stuff over as we're running out of time. >> people can find that on howtostudybest.com, our web site, to learn the techniques. >> rick, thank you very much. we all want the grades to come up. >> absolutely. >> want to not be paying for college, right, allison? >> back over to you. >> second that motion. rick, thanks. the unconventional way one couple arrived to their wedding. that's next. plus, run away car, find out how she was able to escape

i'm barack obama and i approve this message now mitt romney's attacking the president on medicare? the nonpartisan a-a-r-p says obamacare "cracks down on medicare fraud, waste, and abuse and strengthens guaranteed benefits." and the ryan plan? a-a-r-p says it would undermine medicare and could lead to higher costs for seniors... and experts say ryan's voucher plan could raise future retirees costs more than six thousand dollars. get the facts.

we are back now with breaking news out of new york city, where we are getting reports several people have been shot outside of the empire state building. these are live helicopter pictures over that scene now. our sister station in new york city says three people were hit and a person is in custody. we don't know whether the shooting was random or the victims were targeted. we'll stay on top of this story and bring updates as soon as we get them. hate to report on that story. let's change gears and talk to tucker barnes about our forecast this weekend. >> all right. changing gears, yesterday we talked about sunshine this weekend, now looks like more

cloudiness. not a rainout, but not quite the summery view we were hoping for. >> that we were hoping for. >> that's all you can do in weather. >> grin and bear it. >> as far as conditions today, we'll be just fine. warm this afternoon. we have clouds to start your morning, with temperatures now in the 70s. 76degrees in washington. 79 # in annapolis. hagerstown 69 and 67 martinsburg. mix of sun and clouds to start your day. filtered sunshine, high thin cloudiness working in. what's happening, area of low pressure developing across the carolinas. we saw that yesterday on our computer models, but we thought it was going to slip off to the east and north and stay far enough to our south that it wasn't going to impact us much this weekend. but the trend is to take this

system further north, into delmarva peninsula, with potential for cloud cover saturday and sunday. not going to rain all weekend, but we could see showers both weekend days. farther southeast, southern maryland, lower eastern shore, lots of clouds this weekend and better chance of shower activity, as this storm system going to be a slow mover. today no problems. high pressure keeps us dry. area of high pressure pushing off to the east and north. as this area of low pressure rides up the coast slowly, our clouds will increase tonight with the risk of showers back in the forecast both saturday and sunday. with the cloud cover, our temperatures will be held down as well with highs only in the low 80s this weekend. today, 88, mix of sun and clouds. we're fine today. dry this afternoon. even later tonight, if you want to dine outdoors, no problems. 70 overnight low.

here's your five-day forecast. there is your cloud cover and the potential for a few showers saturday and sunday, along with cooler temperatures. temperatures bounce back up by monday with highs in the upper 80s. another cold front comes in tuesday with the chance for thunderstorms by tuesday afternoon. that's a look at the weather forecast. remember i'm just the messenger. back to you. >> tucker, thank you. as reported, the tropical storm isn't expected to have a huge impact on the rnc in tampa. it looks like they may get a bit of wind and rain. even so, gop leaders are not taking any chances. they moved up to monday the roll call vote to officially nominate mitt romney for president. part of the reason is tropical storm isaac, but also convention organizers are worried that ron paul supporters might throw a wrench into the potential process. the republicans go into the convention with a new campaign, a fox news poll shows a very tight race, basically a tie,

with mitt romney having a one point advantage over president obama. romney has a fairly strong lead among independent voters. 42% to 32%. even though a majority of those surveyed disapproved of the president's handling of the economy, voters are nearly evenly split on which ticket they trust to improve the economy and create jobs. ♪ tell me something good ♪ it is time for ask allison. today's question has to do with the presidential polls. our viewer mike from d.c. writes, i have always wondered where the presidential polls come from. you know, polls that state the president's approval rating. i have been a registered voter since 18 and i have never been asked to participate in any poll. could you help me understand why i haven't been chosen to voice my opinion? i had to bring in a guest today. i wanted to get the real deal from somebody who is in the business of understanding polls and putting them out there. joining us with more insight is

rick johnson this morning, rick is a senior vice president, the senior vice president at lake research partners and adjunct professor. thank you for being with us today. >> it's my pleasure. >> is there a chance this gentleman might never ever be asked his opinion in a poll like a presidential approval rating poll? >> allison, i have to say that as somebody who is in the industry and teaches the graduate level, i get asked this question all the time. actually, i get asked two questions, who will win the election, and of course why don't i get called to participate in the poll? >> right. >> my wife has forbidden me from talking about who is going to win. >> can i ask you that? >> it's a long way from the election, but i'm forbidden from talking about it at dinner

parties. how do we select those people taking part in polls? >> it's interesting. i can't wait to hear the answer myself. >> we have four main ways we collect our data. you can use phones, mail, online, or in person interviewing. and the main way we collect data in the united states is through phones or online. so in terms of phones, the way we get the list of people that we call, and that list is called sample, there's two different ways we get that. the first is, either it's supplied to us from a client, so as an example, if we were doing an employee satisfaction study, a client may give us their list of employees to call. >> okay. >> we also can purchase a voter file, or get a voter file from the secretary of state. so we have those lists that we use. the second way that we can call people is we will generate the phone numbers ourselves. that's called random digit dial. >> so there is a random

component? >> there can be, yes, depending on the goals of our client, you're right. >> so interesting. what does that mean, the goals of the client and what you're hoping to get to? does that mean that that sample just -- say it's somebody, they wanted to know about dissatisfaction with whatever major department store. is that only to say that you would get, then, a list of shoppers, repeat shoppers, or someone who say like department stores over the discount warehouse type stores? >> great question. it's a great question. and we face that challenge where we want to make sure that the population of the people we're trying to talk to, that that sample represents that population. >> sure. >> we would want something we can get to all of the shoppers, not just the ones who love the store. >> i think some people might say, well, is it fair, who did they talk to? i don't feel that way. and surely other people must not feel that way.

but it is a fair sampling, because you don't know how anybody is thinking, within that population, right. >> that's right. that's right. people have to realize, if you are a voter in the united states, there are literally hundreds of millions of people that could be called. if we do a national survey, we might be talking to, the survey that you all talked about, about a thousand people that were talked to. only a thousand people got a chance to share their opinion out of hundreds of millions of voters in the united states. the chances that you'll get called are usually pretty slim. >> okay. mike, you might have to wait until election day to make your opinion known. >> that's right. >> that's fair. that's a right we all have, right? >> right. and that's the best way to do it. >> this is rick johnson, you're a great sport. thank you so much for coming in today. >> my pleasure. >> if you have a question for

me, go to myfoxdc.com, click on the link to the morning tab to ask allison. thank you very much. if all else fails, prince harry's new photos may have landed them in a new gig. >> plus, can you guess which tv star is channeling her inner lucy? find out next in the buzz bin. going to surprise you. ♪ [ i love lucy theme ]♪ it's time to change ththe way we clean. it's time to free ourselves from the smell and harshness of bleach. and free ourselves from worrying about the ones we love. new lysol power & free has more cleaning power than bleach. how?
